DANGER
Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
●
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery
pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating
equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the
battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-
charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!
●
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash
your eyes with fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing
your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left untreated, it may
cause eye-problems.
WARNING
Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!
●
If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated
time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke,
rupture, or burst into flame.
Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high
●
pressure container!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!
●
If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor),
immediately remove it from flammable areas. Electrolyte leaking
from battery can easily catch on fire and may cause the battery to
generate smoke or burst into flame.
Do not use an abnormal battery!
●
If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have different
coloring, is deformed, or seems abnormal for any other reason,
remove it from the charger or operating equipment and do not use
it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
